Este trabajo examina los diferentes registros hist??ricos de la idea de solidaridad
y destaca los rasgos principales de la acci??n voluntaria en nuestros d??as,
teniendo en cuenta que se nos muestra como el horizonte axiol??gico de la humanidad.
Sin embargo, hay que preguntarse si la solidaridad est?? hoy sometida
a un proceso entr??pico de devaluaci??n y a un exceso de ret??rica. Por eso, la idea
de solidaridad ha de ponerse en entredicho cuando queda vinculada a la l??gica
del mercado. En este trabajo se propugna un modelo de solidaridad, enraizado
en la tradici??n ilustrada, comprometido con la justicia social y orientado a la
realizaci??n efectiva de los derechos humanos.; This paper reviews different historical traces of the notion of solidarity and
emphasizes the main features of altruist action in our times, taking into
account that it is proposed as the moral horizon of humanity. Nevertheless, the
relevant issue is whether solidarity has become involved in an entropic process
of devaluation and an excess of rhetoric. That is why the notion of solidarity
must be called in question when it is supposed to be tied to commercial logic.
This paper enhances a kind of solidarity rooted in the enlightened tradition,
engaged to social justice and open to human rights.

La evolución del concepto de solidaridad introduce la temática central de este artículo: la solidaridad internacional de matriz comunista y el papel de las mujeres. El valor políticocivil, más que el asistencial y benéfico de la solidaridad es lo que se pretende subrayar, así como su relación preferente con la historia de las mujeres. En el contexto de las convulsas décadas de los veinte y treinta del siglo XX en Europa y en España se analizará, en el marco de la organización cominterniana del Socorro Rojo Internacional y más en general en el contexto de la internacionalización de la solidaridad femenina, la relevante labor llevada a cabo por las mujeres en las tareas de ayuda y socorro.; The evolution of the concept of solidarity introduces the central topic of this article: the relationship between the solidarity of international communism and the role of women. As well as we hope to draw attention not only to the aspects of charity and welfare, related to solidarity, but to the political and civic values of solidarity and its primary relationship with women’s history. To do this, we will analyze the relevant work carried out by women in the areas of aid and solidarity within the context of the convulsive decades of the Twenties and Thirties in the 20th Century in Europe and in Spain. Our study will focus upon the Comintern organization...

One of the many proposals put forth recently in the revival of bioethics concerns solidarity, which is part of the agenda for the discipline in the twenty-first century. In this article, solidarity is proposed as a bioethical value, inasmuch as it cannot be achieved without considering the person towards whom one shows solidarity and without taking into account his or her environment. It is not possible to make bioethical judgments or to accomplish in-depth biological thinking when forgetting the person who is at the source or heart of the matter. Based on a study of the experience of a group of health volunteers in Medellin (Colombia), this research found evidence of the existence of three elements that, together, serve as a hinge between solidarity and bioethics.; Entre las muchas propuestas que se han hecho recientemente en ese resurgir de la bioética se encuentra la solidaridad, constituyéndose parte de la agenda del siglo XXI sobre esta disciplina. Proponemos la solidaridad como un valor bioético puesto que así como no se puede ser solidario sin tener en cuenta a la persona con quien soy solidario y su entorno, no se pueden emitir juicios bioéticos o hacer una reflexión bioética de fondo olvidando a quien se tiene en frente. A partir de un estudio de la experiencia de una población de voluntarios del sector salud en Medellín...

This essay means to make a contribution to the recent field of “business ethics”. To achieve this, we propose the analysis of solidarity in its double aspect, the affective and the rational aspect, that is to say, the solidarity that is spontaneously generated amongst individuals that share common interests and the solidarity that is produced amongst heterogeneous groups with different interests in search for the good of all. In one case we may talk of horizontal solidarity and in another of vertical solidarity. The experiences of two German companies (VW, Ingelheim Böringer) will be used to illustrate cases of vertical solidarity different from those of the welfare state. The issue is to point towards a solidarity as a structure in which both employees and employers can gain.; Este ensayo busca hacer un aporte al reciente campo de la “ética empresarial”. Para ello, se propone llevar a cabo el análisis de la solidaridad en sus dos aspectos, el afectivo y el racional; es decir, la generada espontáneamente entre individuos que comparten un mismo interés y la que se produce entre grupos heterogéneos con distintos intereses con miras a un bien común. En un caso se puede hablar de una solidaridad horizontal, y en el otro...

En los últimos años la solidaridad ha sido problematizada en tres frentes: el debilitamiento del Estado de Bienestar y la hegemonía del modelo neoliberal; la cohesión social en la globalización de la sociedad de mercado; y la crítica al auge de la noción de solidaridad en estas transformaciones sociales. Este artículo contribuye al debate en los dos primeros desde una indagación sobre este último: las operaciones semióticas con que la publicidad de ayuda promueve una solidaridad afín al discurso neoliberal y a una forma de cohesión social de la sociedad de mercado. Mediante un análisis sociosemiótico de un corpus de 598 piezas publicitarias sobre ayuda, se describe como a través del empleo de recursos y estrategias de la publicidad de marcas, se produce una apropiación neoliberal del campo semiótico de la solidaridad, contribuyendo a la generación de un mercado de la solidaridad, una solidaridad a la carta y un consumidor altruista.; In recent years, solidarity has become problematized on three major fronts: the weakening of the Welfare State and the growing hegemony of the neoliberal model, the question of social cohesion at the globalization of market society, and from critical questions about the role of the concept of solidarity in these social transformations. This article aims to contribute to the debate on the first two fronts from an investigation that began in this last front: the basic semiotic operations in the solidarity advertising promotes a solidarity that is akin to a neoliberal discourse and a form of social cohesion in the market society. For this we performed a sociosemiotic analysis of 598 solidarity ads...

Currently, considering the exponential growth of the human knowledge, undeniably due to the proliferation of academic disciplines, any deeper analysis of society becomes more and more impossible, viewing it only from an individualist look and distant from the other branches and dimensions of knowledge. Therefore, the present study aims to formulate new concepts and perspectives, able, in turn, to foster the development of new theoretical nuances and models of observation of reality, and having, as an essential assumption, the examination of the elements necessary for the construction of a new legal paradigm of humanitarian intervention. At first, we will analyze the elements that are part of the concept of solidarity so that, afterwards, we can propose their application to the humanitarian international law, considering, at this point, the specificities surrounding the Brazilian action in Haiti. Thus, this approach on the issue of international humanitarian aid aims at proposing the inauguration of a new kind of international solidarity, which will conceive the international humanitarian intervention not as a mere sending of troops or supplies, but as the necessary moment for the formulation of transnational public policies.
